First, I'm not that worried about electric production short term... unless you are a GW alarmist then I don't think it's a immediate issue... so coal and nuke are not major issues to me either way. We are going to have to increase electric production in the future to power electric vehicles. And renewables do make sense long term. Might as well get on with it. I'm not so sure its too soon to start worrying about electric production. I read about coal plants being canceled. And strong opposition to nuke plants. If more people buy hybrids or electric cars in the future, we're gonna need more electric. Gotta generate that somehow. If we can't build new nuke and coal plants, that leaves natural gas. And though we're finding a lot, the amount of LNG we import is gonna have to go up - btw a lot of imported LNG is gonna come from the bad old Persian Gulf. Qatar in particular is adding LNG capacity big time.
